Hurricane Matthew plows into the southern United States after wrecking havoc and destruction across the Caribbean.
Hurricane Zeta is battering the Gulf Coast with life-threatening conditions and storm surge. According to CNN, the dangerous system has descended upon Louisiana and Mississippi. The Category 2 storm made landfall with dangerous winds reaching110 mph. The eye of the storm passed over New Orleans at roughly 7:30 p.m., EDT. According to a tweet by the New Orleans government, winds were beginning to pick back up after the eye's passing. The National Hurrican Center reports that Zeta is moving at 25 mph and will increase in speed as the night continues.
Multiple houses were severely damaged and thousands of residents were left without electricity after Hurricane Matthew ripped through Charlotte in North Carolina on Sunday. No casualties were reported but numerous houses sustained severe damage in the storm. Trees were uprooted and fell onto houses and power lines, destroying property and snapping electricity wires like twigs. Emergency services have been dispatched to Charlotte to examine the situation and begin clearing up the damages. Despite the fact that Charlotte was spared the worst rain and wind of Hurricane Matthew, other people across the state suffered worse damages. More than half a million power outages were reported in North Carolina on Sunday morning and large parts of the state have been flooded, with some areas being hit by as much as 16 inches of rain throughout Saturday.
